Growing up in my family it wasn't a holiday without this snack on the table. I think they fed this to me as an infant. You know things were a little different back then. It's salty. It's addicting. It's one of my favorite all time foods! And it's even better when my dad makes it. Here's what I learned:

It's kind of a pain in the butt having to stir it every 15 minutes for 2 hours. But, do it. It's worth it.

Use roasting pans as it will fit nicely.

Keeps for a few weeks or freeze for later.

Once it's finished and cooled slide several Cheerios down a pretzel stick. Eat it. You are welcome.

Mix all of the cereals, pretzels, and nuts together in a large roasting pan. Combine the oil, war sauce, and seasonings in a dressing shaker, blender, bowl, (whatever suits you!) and mix well. Pour the wet mixture over the dry mixture and stir.
